American Express
Reward. Recognize. Retain.

This tagline was created for the Corporate Alliances Group. Business gift cards and gift cheques are used to increase customer loyalty and satisfaction, and build goodwill. They can be used for new product trials, product recalls, loyalty programs, subscription-based incentives, sweepstakes, promotions, or rebates. They’re an ideal way to reward, recognize, and retain the most deserving of clients, customers, and employees.

AnchorCare
At your side. For the long term.

This tagline was created for Strategic Financial in Claremont, CA. AnchorCare, which we also named, is Strategic Financial’s Long-Term Health Insurance Division. Its mission is to protect the quality of life and preserve client control over health-related decisions. AnchorCare delivers an intimate, humane, and hands-on form of advocacy — one that is designed to bring comfort, confidence, security, and peace of mind.

Apple Computer
More power to you.

When Apple launched the Power Macintosh 6500 and 4400 series, CPU speeds of 300 MHz, 48 megabytes of RAM, and a 4 gigabyte hard drive were considered breathtakingly fast and powerful. However, speed and power were secondary to the excitement, energy, and empowerment experienced by Apple users, a community that prides itself in thinking different and controlling its own destiny. This tagline is all about them, not about the machine.

FedEx
Never on Someday.

When FedEx introduced its Saturday and Second Day Delivery service, it wanted to differentiate itself from the U.S. Post Office, whose Priority Mail Service promised package delivery in two, maybe three days. This inexactitude was an easy target and Never on Someday was born.

The price you put on peace of mind.

FedEx’s guaranteed delivery day was backed by its famous money-back guarantee, which served to bolster its brand promise. Turning an age-old adage on its ear, we felt that you could put a price on peace of mind: the mere cost of delivery and nothing more.

The sound of one finger shipping.

We helped FedEx get online with their award-winning shipping application, InterNetShip, now called FedEx Ship Manager. It was not only the Web’s first killer app and a first-to-market solution, but remains a staple Web application used by businesses and consumers throughout the world. Stressing ease and simplicity, we took a Zen approach with The sound of one finger shipping.

We also created two additional taglines for InterNetShip: Click! Ship! Done! and The best package deal for online shippers.

Interact Performance Systems
People skills learned right, not rote.

This tagline was created for a company that teaches fundamental skills that help organizations, and individuals within those organizations, achieve their strategic objectives, perform at higher levels, problem solve more effectively, eliminate conflict, become more self-directed, and regulate their own behavior. The people skills taught are innovative and highly interactive, using group exercises, structured rehearsals, and role-playing.

Known for its authentic small town experience, historic past, and flourishing wine industry, the Tri-Valley is a premier wine and golf destination that cherishes its main street values.
